Question: Would you consider someone who drinks 4times a week an alcoholic!?
Answers:
No not at all I drink 4 times a week, if you drink to get drunk and have funn like me then I say your not alcoholic!.!.!. If you drink when your alone and because your thirsty then I would say you are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends, not on how much they drink, though!.

It depends on what they give up to drink!. If they are able to show up for work on time and be productive, nobody in their life is upset with how much they drink, they don't miss previous obligations -- friends, family, etc -- to drink, then no they would not be an alcoholic!.

See, you can drink 4 times a week and drink 2 beers a night and be alcoholic!. You could also drink 4 times a week and have 2 bottles of vodka and not be alcoholic!.

It is important to distinguish between alcoholism and alcohol abuse!. 2 beers a night is not alcohol abuse!. 2 bottles of vodka is!. That level is dangerous to your health!. That is what alcohol abuse is -- drinking to the point of negative health consequences!. That's it!. There are a lot of people who abuse alcohol!. There are less who are alcoholics!. Alcohol abusers may even have a physical dependence, but could still not be alcoholic!. (also notice any homeless person who drinks is alcoholic, regardless of how much they drink!.)

If you are the one drinking 4 times a week, I would evaluate how much you drink and decide whether that's healthy or not!. If you asked this question, it's very likely it is unhealthy!. (Healthy being 2-3 beers for men, 1-2 for women; substitute 1 beer = 1 glass [5oz] of wine = 1 shot [1!.5oz])!. You can decide to cut back or quit based on health reasons, and not be alcoholic!. That's perfectly fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That sure is a trick question, It depends on how much they are drinking and why!. I have a glass or two of wine every night and I am definitely not an alcoholic!. Not because I HAVE to have it!.!.!.it's because I enjoy it!. Being married to one sure let me know it's not a lifestyle I ever want to engage in!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Many people only drink one alcoholic beverage per day, several times per week!. I would not classify these people as alcoholics!.
If someone is consuming alcohol to get drunk four times per week, then yes, I would classify them as being in the early stages of alcoholism!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. An alcoholic has to have their drink more and more often all the time!. Like every night after work and to have several beers, for instance!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
